What's the most fun street car you have been in or can imagine owning? I'm talking about cars that are just TONS of fun to drive and leave you with a **** faced grin everytime you drive it.
It can be anything, such as a classic NA 4cyl that makes all the right noises and has a manual transmission for banging gears. Even though it isn't fast, it's still fun to drive and wring it out to redline. It could also be XXX blown mustang, but I think there are much more interesting cars that can go faster and still handle nicely. Or how about an AC cobra replica with a light weight all aluminum small block and lopey cam?
In college, I was on the formula SAE team and we built a small open wheel formula style racer to compete with. It was a carbon fiber monocock, with a 600cc honda F4i mounted in the back, and a dual wishbone suspension all around. At just under 500lbs, this thing was an ABSOLUTE BLAST to drive. The steering was fast and easy and the acceleration between corners as you wound it to 12k was mind-numbing. With an incredibly low final drive ratio, it sounded amazing banging through the gears fast as you could to the top speed of 100mph. It had slicks and just beat you up around the track, but was SOOO much fun to drive. If there was a street legal equivalent, it would have to a super 7 with the hayabusa engine.
I think a super 7 would be about the most fun street legal car for me to drive.
So what is your idea of the most fun street car, that you'd enjoy taking to the auto-X and or drag strip?
